If the serial number ends in a 7, you need a different rack mount kit, unless it's also prime. Seriously, Cisco's need to produce a different hole pattern for rack ears every time they introduce a different 1U box never ceases to amaze. There are at least nine different incompatible Cisco 1U rack ear patterns. When you finally get ears with the right pattern, expect the screws to be some odd-sized thread pattern unavailable anywhere. (28xx routers are a mild example). -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
